Born in South Korea, EunWon Lee started ballet at the age of 7. Regarded as a child prodigy, she entered Korea National University of Arts at the age of 16. Right after graduation she joined the Korean National Ballet, immediately taking on lead roles. After 2 years, she rose to the rank of a principal: making her the youngest principal dancer in the history of Korean National Ballet.

"Back home, Lee was the National Ballet's youngest principal ballerina and a dance celebrity. Her performances sold out the Seoul opera house in minutes. She starred in "Giselle," "La Bayadere" and other classics, and was coached by visiting ballet royalty from around the world."

EunWon Lee has danced various diverse repertoires including lead roles in Romeo & Juliet, Taming of the Shrew, Giselle, Swan Lake, Don Quixote, La Bayadère, Raymonda, L'Arlésienne, and The Nutcracker.

In August 2016, the world-renowned ballerina, Julie Kent, invited EunWon to join The Washington Ballet under Kent’s new artistic leadership. This year marks EunWon’s third season with the company.
